Don’t buy if you want to add a Bullmatian to your home: Bullmatians are top-notch companion dogs. This mixed breed is known for being affectionate and friendly and also gets along great with children. However, this energetic dog will need a lot of regular exercise and a variety of play sessions. If you are a novice owner, you should know that Bullmatians have a reputation for being stubborn at times, so they will most likely fit in well with an experienced owner who has a lot of dog training experience.

HIGHLIGHTS

Bullmatians are mixed breed dogs. They are not pure breeds like their Dalmatian or Bulldog parents. Although Bullmatians are super loyal dogs, they can be prone to bouts of stubbornness. They need patient and authoritative training. The Bullmatian has a spotted coat. Although, unlike Dalmatians, the spots are not always black, but colors such as brown, orange, fawn, red and brindle are often seen. Bullmatians are relatively low maintenance when it comes to grooming, requiring only a coat brushing about three times a week. In general, Bullmatians prefer a moderate climate. They do not have a high tolerance for very hot or very cold environments, and may need a dog jacket in the winter and sunscreen in the summer. Bullmatians tend to have a lot of energy. They will be happy to join you for a jog or run.

HISTORY

The Bullmatian is a fairly new hybrid dog breed that was first discovered in Afghanistan. As for the origin of this mixed breed, the Bulldog originated in England during the 16th century. It was originally a dog bred to participate in bull baiting, although once this practice was outlawed, Bulldogs became coveted as companion dogs. The Dalmatian was also popular in England, and was commonly used as a fire dog to guard stations. The Bullmatian is a designer dog breed, but many of them, unfortunately, end up in shelters. So consider contacting local rescue groups and shelters if you are considering adding the Bullmatian to your home.
